Create a Treasure Map

team building chest of treasureMap making is an excellent activity to bring excitement into traditional SWOT analysis. Business maps can be an inspirational tool to chart a course for the future that can be referred to again and again over years.

Preparation: Try to locate banana paper or some other paper that is map worthy. Interesting writing materials are also a must. Invite each attendee on the team can create a map.

Session 1: Ask your team to imagine your business as a ship. What kind of ship would each department build? Where does it get it's power? Who on the team is at the helm? How do departments interact? Each department or manager can draw the ship in the centre of the map and then share their insights with the management team.

Session 2: What are the highlights of the company? Look to the left side of the map and illustrate the treasure you have reaped, the adventures your team has shared. Appreciate where you have been. Put orienting lines on the map and label them with your company values & principles.

Session 3: Chart a course for the future. Choose a specific time period (ie. 5 years out). Illustrate treasures you hope to locate, islands of success you hope to achieve, worthy goals. Remember to put the threats to your success... and competitor strengths. What are the dragons that can threaten your success? Where are the potential doldrums that will take the wind out of your sails?

Keeping the maps in public view can motivate and inspire each department. Make a plan to revisit the maps over an agreed upon time period (ie. every 2 years).
